Alison

Probably yes – it wouldn’t be a second wedding though. It would be a blessing of the marriage in the Church. Talk to your priest though, there might be other circumstances that would not make this possible.

Bethany

What if you and your fiance get married in Vegas? Can you still have a church wedding?
